Reading this piece from a few months ago what strikes me is guys like Miller were never supposed to run the government, they were supposed to shore up the base bomb throwing on talk radio. It took a president as bad as Trump to not get this. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Stop calling everything a distraction because your feeble brain is incapable of processing more than one thing in a day. All of this shit is tied together. Every action by the Trump administration is rooted in his fascism and contempt for anyone who doesn't grovel at his feet.

Shot/ Chaser: Gavin Newsom edition

submitted 17 hours ago • 7 comments

I’m not sure why Gavin Newsome doesn’t activate the rest of his army guard to prevent the president from it or force him to overrule it…. Then fight on the second amendment guaranteeing a state a right to a militia. How can a state have a militia if the president can simply federalize it

Newsom: Just moments ago, they called up an additional 2,000 National Guard troops. So now it’s 4,000 total—of which only 300 have actually been operationalized. And guess what? Yesterday, LAPD had to use their already scarce resources to protect those National Guardsmen and women…

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

George III’s power was limited by a constitution, established laws and conventions and in actuality, Parliament held significant power, controlling the budget & having the right to pass laws, which the King could not unilaterally override. So… congratulations, America. You’ve out-kinged yourself!
